Among them is the horrifically wet sound of someone being stabbed, the manic laugh of a woman (or is she sobbing?), and an atmospheric rumbling that evokes the creepy feeling of being deep, deep underground.

There you are idly using your computer when, suddenly, you begin to hear a series of terrifyingly ominous noises coming out of your speakers. When it was all over, I nearly had a little cry"- loved it, 88/100. Yeah, it's weird, but as our review of The Dark Descent makes clear, that's the way it goes: "It was utterly, panic-inducingly horrible. Frictional's games are awful (in the best possible ways) and I honestly don't enjoy playing them, but at the same time I can't not play them and I'm really excited to see what it's getting up to next, even though I wish I wasn't. But it's definitely ominous.Īn obligatory glance at the page source doesn't reveal any secrets, but that's okay because what's important at this early stage is that things are happening. Or a Stalker anomaly! Honestly, I have no idea. A small ball of electricity, perhaps, or a sentient bit of bellybutton lint. The text is gone, and in its place is a pulsating. But at some point between November 28 and today, that changed.
The second Amnesia game, the Chinese Room-developed A Machine for Pigs, and Soma got the same sort of treatment.įor the past four years, the site has displayed just a single line of text-"Our next project has not yet been announced."-on a black background. That, as we know now, became the spectacularly scary Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It's a journey through horrors and disturbing sights, built up during centuries of decay." In September 2008, for instance (via the Internet Archive), it teased the followup to the Penumbra games: "Set in the late 18th century the player will explore the eerie environments of an old castle. The fun thing about that site is that Frictional has maintained it for more than a decade, updating it very slowly to promote whatever project it currently has in the pipe. Rock, Paper, Shotgun recently noticed that the Frictional website has been updated with a link to "Next Frictional Game," and more importantly the website is doing something different now, too.

It's been a couple of years since Frictional Games, the studio that over the past decade has given us the Penumbra trilogy, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Soma, revealed that its next "horrific" game was in full production, yet we still know nothing about it.
